The BELL OF JUsTICE-It is beautiful
story that in one of the old cities of Italy
the king caused bell to be hung in tower
in one of the public squares, and called it
'the bell OF justice" and commanded that
any one who had been wronged should go
and ring the bell, and so call the magistrate
of the city, and ask and receive justice. And
when, in the course of time, the lower end
of the bell rope rotted away, a wild vine
was tied to it to lengthen it; and and one
day an old and starving horse that had
been abandoned by its owner, and turned
out to die, wandered into the tower and, in
trying 20 eat the vine, rang the bell. And
the magistrate of the city, coming 10 see who
rang the bell, found this old and starving
horse; and be caused the owner of the horse,
in whose service he had toiled and been
worn out, to be summoned before him, and
decreed that as his poor horse had rung the
bell of justice he should have justice, and
that during the remainder of the horss's
life his owner should provide for him proper
food and drink and stable.

In ONE of the villages of fKeutucky recent

Presbyterian, after discourse on infant
baptism, proceeded to sprinkle several
babies. The little candidates made great
outcry, which of course was noticed by the
Baptist man. Next day a number of the
latter were TO be immersed in the river near
by. Al the appointed hour large con
course gathered on the banks, the Presby-
teran being of the number and standing
close by the waters edge. Alter the candi-
dates had been immersed the Baptist took
hold of his Presbyterian colleague and said :
Nov sir, will immerse you."
The latter, amazed, demurred.
"Come along, Pm in hurry "replied the
damp divine, and dragged his brother into
the water.
Alarmed and indignant, the young Cal
whist declared at the top of his voice that
he did mot believe in immersion, was OPP
posed to it and would not submit to it,"
The audience were much excited by the
scene.
young man, I will not immerse you to-
day, but if ever again I see you baptising
little ones against their own will, and in
spite of their cries and kicks, as / saw you
do last night, will dip you into the water
as sure as there is God in Israel.

pcrnicious Effect orNoyels.

In Hmper's Magazine W. D. Howells, the
novelist, says some plain things concerning
novel reading:
SIT may be safely assumed" he says,
'that most of the novel reading which peo-
pie fancy is an intellectual pastime, is the
emptiest dissipation, hardly more related to
thought or the wholesome exercise Of the
mental faculties than opium eating; in
either case the brain is drugged. and left
weaker and crazier for the debauch. If this
may be called the negative result of the iic.
ton habit, the positive injury that most
novels work is by no means SO easily to be
measured in the case of young men whose
characters they help SC much. to form or de-
form, aud the women of all ages whom they
misrepresent. Grown men have little from
them, but in the other cases, which are the
vast majority, they hurt because they are not
true-not because they are malevolent, but
because they are idle lies about human ma
ture and the social fabric which it behooves
us to know and to understand, that we may
deal Justly with ourselves and with
one another Bad as the fiction habit
is, it is probably not responsible
for the whole sum Of evil in its
victims, and we believe that if the
reader will use ears in choosing from this
fungus growth with which the fields Of lit
eralure TEEN every day, he may nourish
himself as with the true mushroom, or al no
risk from the poisonous species. The tests
ere very plain and simple, and they are per
iectly infallble. If novel flatters the pas
sious, and exalts them above the principles,
il is poisonous it may not KILL bnt it will
certainly injure, and this test will alone ex-
cude an entire class of fiction, Of which
eminent examples will occur to all Teen
the whole spawn of so called immoral ro-
msnces, which imagine world where the
sins Of sense are unvisited by the penalties
following. swift or slow, but inexorably sure
in the real world, are deadly poison these
do Kill. The novels that merely tickle cur
prejudices and pail our Judgment, or that
coddle our sensbiiit;es or pamper eur gross
appetite for the marvellous, are not so iata), &,
but they are innutritious, ard clog the soul
with unwholesome vapors Of all kinds. No
doubt they too help to weaken the mental
fibre and make the readers Indifferent to
plodding perseverance, and plain industry
and to matter of fact poverty and common
place distresss.
